Home made tortillas

When I was rolling them out I couldn't help but think of making lefsa.!

Except this recipe only makes 8, and takes but 30 minutes from start to finish. Lefsa takes me half a day.

These tortillas were thick and chewy, with a wonderful home made flavor. I served them with simple taco ingredients; burger, tomatoes, lettuce, salsa, sour cream, olives, green onions, and cheese.

Next time I'll try them for fajitas. They'd be perfect for that!

Tortillas

{Taste of Home}

2 c. flour

1/2 tsp. salt

3/4 c. water

3 Tbsp. olive oil.

Mix together and knead 10 times. Add flour as needed. Roll into a ball and divide into 8 pieces. Roll into 7 inch circles and fry 1 minute each side in a nonstick skillet coated with spray until lightly browned. Keep warm until serving.

Wow, I always fail at making my own tortilla, I'd try this recipe :) Thanks for dropping by, it's always nice to meet food bloggers. I hope you can join the linkup over at my blog during Tuesdays called Weekday Potluck :)

Hi! This kind of tortillas...named flour tortillas (tortillas de harina) ar soo delicious with almost everything, here in mexico we eat them with egg´s, cajeta (like caramel only made with milk), uhmmm but I never tried like you said, well tacos arent like that here xD, but sound´s interesting. Another thing, olive oil it´s a healty option for the original ingridient that it´s "manteca vegetal", and also we use baking powder,and whith almost the same recipe, adding flour for hotcakes you can make "gorditas", like soft cookies...ohh if u want to get fat eat mexican food =S hahaha just kidding,just don´t eat to much :)...great blog!
